Grüezi @Marcus_Maute, welcome to the forum and you and the BridgeTower team congratulations on the acquisition.
Thanks for familiarizing with the process for such business situations, and for informing the Lido community in advance of their assessment on the continuation of the BridgeTower operation in the Curated Module (CM) about the relationship between Deus X Capital and Bridgetower Capital, as well as your vision and plans with Solstice Staking.
As contributors to the Node Operator Mechanisms (NOM) workstream dig into the details and ask the Lido Node Operator Sub-governance Group (LNOSG) to provide a similar recommendation, could you please let the community know whether it would be required for you to change your Node Operator (NO) registry address? In the same thread, please also let people know, if the name of your NO as it is registered in the CM registry should change.
Due to the similarity of the acquisition to recent cases (NO CryptoManufaktur is now part of Galaxy, Attestant Joins Bitwise) and as per the rough rubric developed previously for assessing such transitions, personally I do not see any reason to pause the BridgeTower NO or for the community to request any validators for exit and it can make sense to proceed optimistically, but if anyone in the community disagrees, it would be prudent to have a discussion ASAP.
With regard to further steps, due to the upcoming holidays, it must be noted that a vote on the continuation of operations can be expected in the second half of January 2025 at the earliest.
Congratulations again on this exciting finale to the year!
